✨ Tournament Poker Rules

29 JANUARY NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 303

5.6 No player may leave the table while a session is in progress, except in an emergency or with the consent of the tournament director. The tournament director may approve a substitute player, nominated in person by the player, to take that player’s allotted seat during any session. There may only be one substitution between the same players during a session of play.

5.7 All players shall at all times keep their tournament chips in front of them and in clear view of the other players and the game supervisor, until the session has ended and the winner and/or place-getters, as the case may be, have been determined. The chips shall be kept in such a manner that the total value of chips can be seen by the other players at the table.

5.8 Any player who pockets or otherwise conceals chips, or removes chips from the table, during tournament play may be disqualified.

5.9 No player may request advice regarding his/her decisions of play from any other player or spectator, and no such other player or spectator may offer such advice, unless provided for in the rules.

6.0 End of Session

6.1 The number of players to advance to the next session shall be determined at the start of the tournament.

6.2 The winner or winners of each session shall be the player or players on each table with the highest value of chips at the end of the session.

6.3 Should players be eliminated in the same round, placings shall be awarded relative to the amount of tournament chips the eliminated players contributed to the final pot or pots.

6.4 Tournament chips in the possession of a player at the end of a session of play shall remain the property of the casino operator and be returned to the casino operator at the end of the session at the table at which they were used.

As the Gazette has been published for more than 185 years, copyright status depends on the publication date of each issue:

1840–1925 (Public Domain): Issues of the New Zealand Gazette and Provincial Gazettes from this period are in the public domain, as the term of Crown copyright (100 years) has expired. Mechanical reproductions (e.g., scanned PDFs) of these public domain documents do not attract new copyright.
1926–1999 (Crown Copyright): Issues from this period remain subject to Crown copyright. Usage of these issues in this project is "Fair Dealing" for research purposes and consistent with the spirit of the open-access principles championed by NZGOAL, ie, "The default licensing position under ...
